[Endoscopic colorectal polypectomy in children and adolescents].
Endoscopic polypectomy was performed in a total of 22 children and two adolescents aged 3 to 17 years. The most frequent symptom leading to examination was enterorrhagia. During 31 colposcopic examinations a total of 113 polyps was removed. From the histological aspect in all patients juvenile polyps were involved, only in one patient with familial polyposis a tubular adenoma was detected. No complications were observed. Endoscopic polypectomy from the large intestine and rectum in children is a safe and satisfactory method which replaces the standard surgical approach and is much more sparing for the child.
